How to stop my dog from humping?
My one dog that I just rescued is getting neutered next week but he constantly humps my female (who's been spade). I tell him no and he stops for a couple minutes been then goes right back at it. I've tried taking him out for a run or on rollerblades to try and get him tired but it seems like nothing is working. Please help so I don't have to deal with this another week.
P.S. they are two pitbulls so they kinda play/hump rough and I am starting to feel bad for my female now whenever he comes by her she just lays down. But then he humps her from the front

Separate them until he is neutered. Put them in different rooms.

I have a dog that is 16 years old and he is a real humper, there is no way to stop him, I have given up. He has been neutered. I have a Scotty and a Westy the Scotty lay's down feet in air and the Westy is the aggressor, this goes on a 100 times a day.The Vet. said leave it alone.

He will likely continue to engage in this behavior even after being neutered because "humping" is an act of dominance. Male dogs will do this to other males and females to other female (and vice versa) because they are trying to assert themselves in the pack order as the alpha dog. When your dog does this, grab him firmly(but not too hard) around the muzzle and say "NO!". If he continues to do this, consider putting him in time-outs in his kennel every time he breaks the rules. This should help.

Neutering should help. You could also take him out of the room and separate him from everyone giving him a "time out" and once he calms let him back in the room, if he starts humping repeat until he gets the point.

This could be dominance humping. I would read up on it if I were you.
As for the energy thing, we have a bike jogger for the dogs and find it really helpful as they can run and we can bike very quickly. My lab runs up to 6 kms at a time and sometimes twice a day. (If he goes twice usually its just 3 each time). Our dogs love it.

What's bad about? Record it and send it to AFV! Who knows? Maybe you'll win 10k!
